Pro football players are not children and a lot of them resent being treated a such. This whole warm up thing has been blown out of proportion. Do you really think that if a player was repeatedly skipping warm ups and was having injury issues DA or the position coaches or even the conditioning staff did not tell them they needed to do stretching and warm ups???
I'm no fan of DA as a HC but blaming him or even thinking that our injury issues are because he didn't make warn-ups mandatory is really stretching it ( pun intended)
Rizzi is just trying to shake things up, yeah it's needed but making warm-ups mandatory is small potatoes
If mandatory warm-ups were important did SP have them and just how did that work for him in 2019 when we were the most injured team in the league. Or how about the Pels? Do they have mandatory warm-ups? If so how is that working out for them ??

I’m not here to talk Pels, couldn’t care less about them or the NBA, nor am I hear to talk about the past Saints teams, and I also don’t know what SP’s policy was on this years ago.

All I know is our current team has had abnormal injury issues and the current head coach decided to make warming up mandatory. I support his decision and I believe he feels it’s best for the team.

Whether you think so or not doesn’t matter. I stand with Rizzi and think it’ll pay dividends. You think it’s treating people like children but apparently he thinks otherwise. I’ll go ahead and side with the man currently holding a head coaching position in the NFL and seeing immediate results both on the field and off, based on player comments.
